Which code does this activity belong in?
Pottery, Ceramics, and Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing covers establishments that shape, mold, glaze, and fire clay and ceramic materials into finished products such as plumbing fixtures, tableware, electrical insulators, and decorative items. The boundary with Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing is that the latter produces structural materials for construction and heat-resistant products for industrial furnaces, while NAICS 327110 focuses on functional and decorative ceramic goods intended for consumer or commercial use.
